Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June 18, 1910.

Patented Dec. 13, 1910.

Serial No. 567,611.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAssoND MANson, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Youngstown, in the county of Mahoning and State ofOhio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cuspidors, ofwhich the following is a specification, reference being had therein tothe accompanying drawing.

This invention relates toAcuspidors, and the objects of my invention areto provide a cuspidor with positive and reliable means for retaining thecontents therein when the cuspidor is accidentally tilted or upset, andto provide a cuspidor that can be easily maintained in a sanitarycondition.

Other objects of my invention are to provide a cuspidor that consists ofcomparatively few parts easily and quickly assembled, and further, toprovide a cuspidor that is simple in construction, durable andefiicient.

These and such other objects as may hereinafter appear are attained bythe novel construction that will be presentlydescribed in detail andthen claimed.

Reference will now be had to the drawing forming a part of thisspecification, where- 1n:

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of I posite wall of the receptacle1, said partition serving functionally as a deflector plate, wherebymatter passing through the neck 2 will be deflected to the opening 6formed between the edge of the partition 5 and the wall of thereceptacle 1.

Detachably mounted in the neck 2 is a funnel shaped mouth-piece 7, saidmouthpiece having the lower end thereof closed by a horizontal plate 8,while the lower edges of said mouth-piece are threaded to permit of themouth-piece being screwed into the neck 2. The horizontal plate is pro-The under side of the plate 8 is providedwith flap valves 10 adapted toclose said openings when the cuspidor is accidentally tilted or upset.These flap valves are preferably made of a strip of resilient materialwith the upper side of each strip provided with a gasket or washer 11that will positively seal the openings 9.

The cuspidor in its entirety is constructed of light and durable metal,as brass and can be ornamented and finished to present a neatappearance. It can also be made of various sizes and shapes withoutdeparting from the scope of the appended claims.

Having now described my invention what I claim as new, is

1. A cuspidor embodying a receptacle having an interior-1y threadedneck, a flat inclined partition integral with the por tion of the inner'face of said receptacle be low said neck and slanting toward andterminating at a point removed from the opposite portion of the innerface of said receptacle to provide a segment-shaped passage, a funnelshaped mouth-piece detachably mounted in said neck, a plate closing thelower end of said mouth-piece, said plate having a plurality of openingsformed therein, and means arranged upon the under side of said plate toclose said openings when said cuspidor is tilted.

2. A cuspidor embodying a receptacle having an interiorly threaded neck,a fiat inclined partition integral wit-h the portion of the inner faceof said receptacle below said neck and slanting toward and terminatingat a point removed from the opposite portion of the inner face of saidreceptacle to provide a segment-shaped passage, a funnel shapedmouth-piece detachably mounted in said neck a plate closing the lowerend 01": said mouth-piece, said plate having a plu rality of openingsformed therein, and means arranged upon the under side of said plate toclose said openings when said cuspidor is tilted, said means includingflap valves arranged to close by gravity.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of twowltnesses.
